Meeting notes from our last online meeting.
As we now begin to reflect on 2014 and look forward to 2015 we would like to ask you all to take a moment and complete this very brief survey which we hope will serve to be useful for Industry Manufacturers to gain insight on who we are as an Association and what new products we are looking to add to our vehicles next. It will only take a minute or two and you will be helping out Southern as we look to further connect with the Manufacturers and Businesses in related Industries.
Let's all be sure to reach out and show out support for these three new business's who just recently joined SFWDA as Business Members. These are the folks who support our Association and are supporting our core mission. Your support to their business's continue to allow our family grow stronger and become more effective.

The Southern Four Wheel Drive Association Board of Directors continues its hard work to refocus our association and our efforts for 2015. As most of you are aware, the association is implementing sweeping changes to the membership structure. Additionally we introduced the SFWDA Grant program to allow each of our member clubs to directly address the needs of your local area and communities with this tool. The key to our grant program is that we embrace our core missions of Conservation, Recreation and Education.
This past week several SFWDA volunteers met with the National Forest Service Ranger and Engineering Manager representative; Valencia Morris regarding the design and construction parameters in building new trails at Beasley Knob OHV area.
Dixie Run is all about riding the trails with family and soaking in the intense atmosphere. This the 28th year now for this event which continues to be successfully organized by loyal and dedicated volunteers who all work together to make this an enjoyable event members of SFWDA as well as fellow enthusiasts alike.
Here is my personal take as an example of some of the great spots and beautiful scenery we were able to enjoy on this Scenic Vistas and Waterfalls Excursion Tour.
As we prepare for our SFWDA Annual Leadership meeting on December 6, 2014 at the DoubleTree Hotel, Oak Ridge, TN, we are preparing this overview of the changes in our membership structures so our exiting clubs can plan for the New Year. The Board of Directors reviewed at the September 22, 2014 on-line meeting a number of technical issues and design issues. We have agreed to focus our new membership energies using an integrated tool that allows us to manage the association membership, all events and SFWDA communications. Membee (www.membee.com) is a web-based solution for membership based organizations.
